PARALYZED POLICEMAN CONTINUES TO BRING EDUCATION TO KIDS IN REMOTE BARANGAY

/ 17 July 2021

HE has been shot by New People’s Army rebels while delivering learning modules in a remote village in Davao del Norte, but that attack has not deterred Patrolman Noel Amor.

He continues to deliver education materials to learners in geographically isolated Barangay Dagohoy.

lso a teacher by profession, Amor and other members of the Revitalized-Pulis sa Barangay, Regional Mobile Force Battalion 11 have been teaching children in Km. 31 of Barangay Dagohoy, Talaingod Municipality how to read and write.

Most of the children from the indigenous community of the barangay do not know how to read and write.

Amor, who has not fully recovered from the NPA attack, and his colleagues have been teaching the children and helping them with their learning modules.

Philippine National Police chief Guillermo Eleazar commended Amor for continuing to provide public service beyond duty despite his condition.

“Saludo ako kay Patrolman Amor dahil hindi niya iniinda ang kanyang kondisyon makapagtaguyod lang ng kailangang serbisyo sa Barangay Dagohoy. Mas iniisip niya ang kapakanan at pangangailangan sa edukasyon ng kabataan sa komunidad keysa sa sarili,” Eleazar said.

He said that due recognition will be given to Amor for his dedication to police service.

Eleazar directed the PNP Health Service to coordinate with the patrolman and help him in his recovery.
